When irqs are soft-disabled, MSR[EE] is volatile and can change from 1 to 0 asynchronously (if a PACA_IRQ_MUST_HARD_MASK interrupt hits). So it can not be used to check hard IRQ enabled status, except to confirm it is disabled. ppc64_runlatch_on/off functions use MSR this way to decide whether to re-enable MSR[EE] after disabling it, which leads to MSR[EE] being enabled when it shouldn't be (when a PACA_IRQ_MUST_HARD_MASK had disabled it between reading the MSR and clearing EE). This has been tolerated in the kernel previously, and it doesn't seem to cause a problem, but it is unexpected and may trip warnings or cause other problems as we tighten up this state management. Fix this by only re-enabling if PACA_IRQ_HARD_DIS is clear.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
